A Sculpture by T Barny

Information
Though bronze castings are typically taken from clay or wax models, "Circo" was originally carved in Utah Calcite. I had the original sculpture "3D" scanned, and that scan was used to "3D" print a model from which to make a wax mold. Wax is poured into this "mold" resulting in a wax replica, which is then invested (covered) with refractory material capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures. The wax is melted out of this new "casting" mold and bronze poured into the cavity. Grinding and sanding smooth the bronze makes it ready for Patina.
